Yes i have worn this in heavy rain! It keeps you dry! My pants were soaked, and took off my coat and was 100% dry!

I have and it's wonderful! I have never gotten wet wearing this jacket. I love this jacket because it's not heavy and not hot to wear in the Summer...perfect for Spring, Fall, and Summer.

Yes it keeps you dry---all the seams are sealed to ensure that no moisture gets inside the jacket.

This jacket is completely waterproof, even in a downpour, I stayed dry. It did get too warm. The underarm vents are great for that though!

It works fine in the rain, It gets wet, but doesnt soak through very fast. I wear it pretty much from mid march to early october, . I run my Marathons in it.. You will wear it all the time once you get it. Just buy it, Nuff said.

my mom wears it in the rain and has had no problems at all. she is not out for huge periods when it rains, but she is in a wheelchair so it is two ramps and the car. I love this hearing aid! hope this helps

Yes. I've only had it out for short stretches in the rain but I've never had a problem.

No it does not keep you dry. The fabric will allow rain to drip through. Sure is nice though for keeping an area cooler though. I have two over an area where I do some potting and it helps a lot.

It stays dry. Mine has been exposed to elements and rain since I've had it. I've been through many different ones and this is by far the best.

I don't know of any compression sack that is "waterproof". Although they could take a splash or two without stuff inside getting wet. You are thinking of is a "dry bag". Use these sacks to crush your stuff down small, then put them in a dry bag to keep it all water proof. You really only need a dry bag if you think your gear might be submerged. Most backpacks are water resistant, and these sacks have a bit of water resistance too. Rain should be no problem. But if you are still worried about rain a simple lawn and garden bag will keep stuff dry. Put it in the pack, load your gear, roll the top of the bag down and close the pack. You will be good for that unexpected dip in the creek! lol Hope this helps.

I have never fished in a downpour with this vest but light rain does nothing to it. However, to be safe, I would write the mfg. to find out before I was in a drenching rain. My guess in a downpour it would trigger it.

Mine has not been soaked, but it has withstood rain just fine.But, if you have any doubt I would go ahead and treat it with a water protector.

Hm, ive used it in the rain. It doesnt keep the bike dry. But also doesnt get soaked. Its not ideal for rain. Hope that helps.(get a 2-4 Layer cover-trust me)

it will keep dry if you are using it on a rainy day . it will not keep the water out if drop it into a puddle of water

I have only used mine in dryer climates, but it is a sturdy canvas. I would not expect it to prevent water from seeping through in a heavy downpour, but in misty or slightly rainy weather, it should be fine. I'm sure there are products out there to make it even more water resistant if you are often in inclement weather.

I don't think it would offer "waterproof" protection if you dropped it in the river.... but as for keeping the rain off and normal weather I think it does very well. Again, I have not tested this, but I assume water would make it through the zipper if you were scuba diving or walking in a torrential rain storm, but I have carried mine, tucked under my arm in all sorts of wet weather and never had an issue.

Good question since I was carrying it in the rain today. The large compartment closeset to your back has a different material on the inside that would resist water pretty well except in drenching conditions. The outer material of the pack is a tough, but not waterproof, denier material. It get's damp with exposure to rain but I haven't had it soak through yet. If you're concerned about getting contents wet I'd recommend ziploc bags or small / medium sil nylon stuff sacks for contents.

I haven't used it in tropical weather but I have in snow and light rain. As long as there isn't any holes it will keep you dry. It doesn't zip closed around your head. Instead it overlaps and has velcro. There is a chance for a few bugs getting in but not many.

I've ridden it in many heavy rains without trouble. Once I did not close the USB port and rode in rain, it got wet inside and stopped working properly. I had to wait for it to dry out and do a reset as instructed by customer service, it worked again after doing that.

it is lined nylon so it should be ok in a drizzle. My thinking is that it won't do in full on rain for long time. Very light weight, I use it to carry a jacket, hat etc for overseas travel.
